I'm like Ron in my ignorance of BPD. I know there are people here who know alot about it because I've seen threads that deal with this, but I haven't followed them very well. - You should check the PB archives. They might be very helpful and help you identify people on the Board who share this problem.
I will say that I can be very hyper-sensitive. There is a recent book about "HSPs" that is interesting. My therapist thinks I'm pretty much wired that way but I would also have to say that when I'm less depressed I'm less easily hurt. So maybe if your depression were being more effectively treated, you might find yourself, not less sensitive necessarily, but more able to roll with things. It's awful to be so alone when you're depressed since it's such an isolating illness to begin with. It sounds like maybe a lousy time to be firing therapists, although maybe you felt you had no choice. Also although I know depression saps you of any energy and motivation you might have to get out and do things, nothing feeds a depression more than having nothing to do and noone to do it with. Would you be able to handle a parttime job? How close are you to getting in the program you're talking about and what will it involve time-wise?
